2009–2012 Jerr-Dan 50 TON Wrecker recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Jerr-Dan is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 50 Ton Heavy-Duty Wrecker vehicles manufactured April 23, 2009, through July 31, 2012. The mounting hardware used to attach the front or middle of the wrecker frame to the truck chassis may become loose or fracture.
💥 The risk
If the hardware becomes loose or fractured, the wrecker frame could partially detach from the chassis frame, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
🔧 The fix
Jerr-Dan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the mounting bolts with bigger ones, free of charge. The recall began on January 31, 2013. Owners may contact Jerr-Dan at 1-301-745-3713.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
